The Holidays in the Air and at the Store!

It's that great time when all the fall/end of the year holidays are gearing up at the same time. Halloween is right around the corner, Thanksgiving is pulling up fast and Christmas is starting to gain speed coming around the far turn! At the store I hop - well run between displays looking for stuff for Halloween, Christmas and Thanksgiving. It's hard to feature it all at the same time and to give a prominent place for all three holiday's stamps, dies, papers and accessories so we sometimes have to run an obstacle course through the store. The good news is I'm always finding new stuff I didn't realize we had! The moral of this is - check every aisle when you're shopping!

As for new stuff, here's what I have so far...

You have been asking for Buffalo sports papers and we have some great new papers featuring the Sabres and the Bills. It might be a little hard rooting for both teams right now but hopefully, things will get better. Do the Pegula's read this blog?

I was cruising the front counter and I thought I'd give these new dies from Cottage Cutz a shout out. 

Have you seen the small acrylic House Mouse stamps on the counter? I've blown this photo up so you can get a look at some of the adorable images. They are only $2.99!

Next up is our Holiday Raffle basket although this year it's a Holiday Raffle Bag - a very large Vera Bradley bag, with a small wallet included along with a TON of product. I thought I'd try and take a photo peaking into the basket, er, bag to give you an idea. I spy Tim Holtz, Sizzix dies, Mini inks, markers and more! Get your tickets at the register. $5 a ticket or 3 for $10. This is a great bas...bag and we send out a sincere thank you to the Vera Bradley store in the Galleria Mall for their generous donation to our Holiday Raffle.

Just a reminder, this is the first weekend of Stamp Camp. We have a few slots left for the first session on Sunday and Monday and plenty of room for the remaining sessions.
